Louisa Potter Pilates is a fully equipped home Pilates studio at the foot of the Port Hills in Huntsbury, Christchurch. It's run by Louisa Potter, a former dancer who taught Pilates in London for nearly 20 years before returning home to Christchurch with her husband and two boys to open her own studio.
Louisa's approach starts from the belief that fitness needs to be something you actually enjoy for it to become part of your life — a philosophy shaped by her own background in dance. Over the last 20 years she has worked with a wide variety of clients across many settings, from high-level athletes and dancers managing injuries, to people wanting to enhance performance or simply move through the day without pain.
Her method starts with correcting posture as a simple starting point; once postural issues are addressed, other problems generally begin to disappear and real gains can be made. Every programme at the studio is individually tailored to the client's needs and continually progressed alongside them.
